Gassco AS has awarded a pre-engineering (FEED) contract to CB&I Lummus B.V. in The Hague in the Netherlands for upgrade of the Norsea Gas Terminal (NGT) in Northern-Germany.

The pre-engineering will address the necessary upgrades for an extended lifetime for the Norsea Gas Terminal. This work will also include some minor work at the Europipe Metering Station (EMS) and the Europipe Receiving Facilities (ERF).

The contract has a value of approximately 50 MNOK and the work commences in early February this year and for completion end 2010.

The NGT facilities in Emden have been in operation since 1977 and were constructed to receive the gas coming from Norway through the Norpipe pipeline. The Europipe Metering Station (EMS) also in Emden, was constructed later in connection with the Europipe I pipeline in 1995.

The Europipe Receiving Facilities (ERF) are in Dornum and were established for the Europipe I pipeline in 1995 and extended in connection with the Europipe II pipeline in 1999.
